  1. I used to work there years ago and I was the grill cook and there wasn’t a time that went by when I would hear my name being called or giggling I would always see someone or someone’s coming from upstairs in the storage and going into a different part of the kitchen and then u would see them head back up to the storage room
    Also there has been times that I would see an older man standing at the end of the last lane just stating my way but I never thought he would ever hurt me so I would just keep on working
